Jill Scott Puts Estranged Husband’s Belongings In Storage

Posted byBy Shamone Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Singer Jill Scott is ready to put her failed marriage behind her. The songstress is dealing with her soon-to-be ex-husband Mike Dobson requesting his belongings be returned.

TMZ obtained documents last month of Dobson saying he has been pestering Scott about returning his items. He claimed that the “A Long Walk” singer had few items of his including, a Prince “Purple Rain” album, 5 hotel robes, a massage table, a Dewalt laser level and an extended shoehorn. Dobson claimed he tried to retrieve his belongings but Scott changed the locks.

According to TMZ, Jilly from Philly did try to return the items but to no avail after getting no response from Dobson. After not hearing back from Dobson, Scott said she put her estranged husband’s items in storage and mailed him the key. However, Dobson has yet to pick up the items and she’s forced to continue paying the bill.

Scott also added her husband stole the robes from the hotel and she had to pay for them.

Scott is asking the judge to throw out Dobson’s request since she’s done her best to return his belongings.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
